1 Chronicles 4:10
We are walking in today: Moment Of Truth.
1 Samuel 15:22-24 22) And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23) For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 24) And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. In the process of experiencing God, obedience is your moment of truth. Your obedience (or lack of it) will--reveal what you believe in the word of God. You obey because you trust God. You trust Him more because you love Him. As you grow in your faith and obey God at every step you'll move from a head knowledge of God to personal, experimental, dynamic relationship with the person Jesus Christ. The LORD initiates the relationship by revealing His character and activity to you. The Holy Spirit is your teacher and guide, helping you trust God and Him. But you are the one who must respond in obedience. No one else can do this for you. When you trust God and take action to obey Him, you grow in Him. As 1 John 2:3-6 3) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5) But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. This scripture illustrates the importance of obedience, because you know God loves you, you should never question a directive from Him. It will always be right and best. When He expresses His will, you are not just to observe, discuss, or debate it. You are not called to "wrestle with it" as many do. You are to obey it!!! This is what the scriptures say about obedience. Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Deuteronomy 28:8 The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Deuteronomy 28:15 But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. Jeremiah 7:23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. This is the moment of truth!!!!
What did God tell you to do? What did God say for you to do? We know that the word of God will tell and direct us where to go. We know that all we have to do is to line up with what God said. Line up with obedience, to His word. Obedience is better than sacrifice. We need to do a self check, on yesterday He had us to line up to check to see where we are. You can't be looking around at some one else. Are you really obeying the word that God has said? If God is telling you to go over here, are you lining up with His word?! Obedience is better than sacrifice. Tell the Lord this morning, "I will line up with Your word God, I will do what Your word says." Are you doing exactly what God told you to do? I will walk as You direct me, no matter how it looks. I want to be in order, I know that You are directing me God. I want to be in order God, walking with You. I want to be in Your will, You came to set me free. Our God is a jealous God, there shall be no other god's before Him. I want to get all out of this flesh. Let your flesh be crucified, daily. Line up with this word daily. We get brand new mercies because of who God is!! Are you truly being obedient, or are you operating in self? Someone is walking in disobedience and that is causing their blessings to be all tied up. You have got to say in His will, this is the moment of truth. Write the vision and make it plain. Don't worry about what man says, what did God say? Move when He speaks. Are you gonna be obedient, pray without ceasing or stand on His word? Now is not the time to line up with man, this is the time to line up with the Lord. Will you be obedient unto the Lord, will you be obedient in that marriage, covering your wife--giving your very life like Jesus did for the church or sitting still being a wife as God directs you to be. Are you gonna operate in your feelings, or are you gonna operate in obedience, no well back into the fire you go! Someone is walking in disobedience and is expecting a blessing from God!? That is out of line, out of order, get back in line with the word of God. This is the moment of truth, line up with His word. Move as He directs you and guides you. God wants to know if you will stay in this race. Will you keep fighting and seeking Him day after day. Stop trying to work this out yourself--you are not God!! You are not in control! This is self check--are you trying to work this out without God?! This is all about God--it is not about you. It is God that is on the throne. You better shake up for the wake up!! As Rev. Christine would say. This word is for those who are walking in disobedience, you have to walk it out trusting in Him and do what He has told you to do. Write the vision and make it plain. You need to forgive, but you say that I did not do anything, why do I have to forgive? You have to forgive because God said it! You must be obedient to His word!! God will not forgive you if you don't forgive others. He will not bless you if you can't obey Him. I come this morning to repent to say God I need you to forgive me. Whoever is walking in disobedience should repent right now. You know that we don't always walk in obedience to His word. Repenting should be a daily thing, this flesh gets all in the way in this walk. You better crucify your flesh, burn it up --back in the fire you go. You better line up with the word of God. It is time to be obedient. He has ordered our steps and has this planned from the very beginning. There is someone whispering in your ear, don't do that. But our response is--I'm doing what God said. You should be excited to walk in obedience! This is your moment of truth. Write the vision and make it plan. Keep walking as God has directed you! What did God say?! This is the moment of truth. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna trust God or yourself? Are you gonna be blessed, above what you could ask or think? This is your moment of truth--obedience. What did God say? Walk in obedience to the word! What did God tell you to do? Keep walking and lining up with the word of God. What are you gonna do? Are you gonna get in the way or let God move. Be obedient to what God has told you to do. Obedience is better than sacrifice. God wants to know what are you gonna do? Obedience is better than sacrifice. What did God say? What did He tell you to do? Obedience is better than sacrifice. Keep getting up seeking Him early. Keep doing what God told you to do. Walking in the direction that God is leading you in. Do you have your plan? Are you being obedient? Obey His word. Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. His word shall stand forever!! We should be excited to walk in obedience, He will bless us. Being in disobedience,we learn through what we suffer. He will teach you His word, to stand on His word. Don't do any thing but walk in that word. This is not something to discuss, or wrestle with. Now God can trust you due to your obedience--being in line and in order. Don't walk in disobedience, fiveamprayer!! What is God's plan, what did He say? Obey His word. Hearken to His voice. He loves our sacrifice. To obey is better than sacrifice. Sometimes it is a sacrifice to obey Him. This is your moment of truth--what did God say? He said don't move, you stay right there! He is teaching you obedience. You will learn obedience from your disobedience. Let's not go through all of that that, just line up with what the word of God says!! When there is a call on your life, you will learn obedience! God is so good and ring on time---what did God say? This is your moment of truth. We are learning obedience. This lesson will teach us to really line up. Fiveamprayer, let us line up and be obedient!! Let's get out of self and walk this thing out!! Nevertheless, not my will--Thy will be done! Thank You for this word--God is waiting for us to line up with His word. Trust Him anyhow, in your marriage--stay right there even when it doesn't make no sense!! Obedience is better than sacrifice. Get out of self--stop trying to being your own god. It is not easy, fiveamprayer, keep your eyes on Him and trusting Him and He will bring you out!! Stay where God puts you. Stay put and trust God. We have gotta have obedience--it is necessary for the blessing. We have joy because of obedience, to His word. There are no blessings with disobedience--stop questioning God or thinking about it. He does not change His mind. It is all for your good, making you stronger, better and wiser. It is all for someone else, your testimony, will help some one else overcome.
What are you gonna do, line up with what God says? Stay right here, no matter what--wife, husband or job says. Sit right there, stay where God has put you. So many believers are walking around in disobedience. We will learn obedience through the things that you suffer. This is your moment of truth. Sit right there. What did He say? Line up with His word. What are you gonna do? God may have you to ask for forgiveness, apologize for some thing you are not responsible for. He is loosing up things so He can use you. He wants all of that stuff out of and off of you. Ask for forgiveness and have us to walk in obedience. We come to get it right today, this is our moment of truth. Hallelujah! 2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Fiveamprayer we must wash in the word, be cleansed daily. Ask Him to, "wash me with Your word, Lord" To wash like the clothes on the washing board, so we can line up and walk in His word. Stop playing at being god, be obedient--write the plan that God give you for for the details for your life. He knows the plans that He has for us--the plans He has are not on our agenda. It is the Lord that has the plans. You have no agenda when you are serving God. You will miss Him--being out of position. God is talking to you!! It is for your good--don't wallow in it, listen to His word. Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Every tear we cry is for the purpose of God. This is our moment of truth. Will we apologize? Get ourselves lined up with the word. Be obedient--you don't know the plan. He told us what we need to do and how. Noah did not now about rain and got the plan for the ark. What if Noah was disobedient. People laughed at him, mocked him and asked, "what is rain". He kept building and building. And then when directed, collected the animals, the people were still laughing at him. Fiveamprayer, who has laughed at you when you said what God has in store for you? You have to trust and believe. Abraham was told to sacrifice his son. He went up to take his son, to sacrifice and built an alter. God saw Abraham's commitment to God's word and God showed Abraham the ram in the bush. That is why we can call the Lord, Jehovah Jireh, The Lord who Provides. The word still works!! Obedience better than sacrifice. Moses was to go and tell Pharaoh let His people go. We must be obedient in our walk. Pharaoh asked who sent you, "I AM sent me". You better walk in obedience. Thank You Lord!! Thank You God! If God said it, it is enough for me!! Hallelujah!! He is setting us free through our obedience. He is blessing us! This is our moment of truth. We must worship in spirit and truth. Hallelujah! Who the son sets free is free indeed. Hallelujah! Glory to Your name. Fiveamprayer, just keep getting up at 5 am and trusting Him for a new word every day. Hallelujah God! This is our moment of truth! Obedience, just do what God said to do! Follow His word and He will take care of you. You have got to walk in obedience! We lift up fiveamprayer, for obedience, it is better than sacrifice. We lift up prayer requests, have them to know that obedience is better than sacrifice. We ask for forgiveness, for when You forgive there is no condemnation. You cast our sins into the sea, remembered no more. Obedience is better than sacrifice.
We seal this prayer in the precious blood: 1 Chronicles 4:10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
Welcome to the overflow...
Obedience is better than sacrifice. This is your moment of truth. What are you gonna do? Will you be obedient to God's direction? Thank you God for this word this morning!!
